property taken was acquired by purchase or condemnation or is held
in a private and not a governmental capacity.  If the land taken for
street purposes was acquired by purchase or condemnation or is held
in a private or proprietary capacity and not in a governmental
capacity, then compensation shall be paid in accordance with the
method for ascertaining damages in eminent domain proceedings for
the taking of private property.
B.  If the land taken for street purposes was not acquired by
purchase or eminent domain proceedings and is not owned and held in
a private or proprietary capacity, no expense, special assessment,
or other charge shall be levied or assessed against the land so
taken or any part thereof by reason of the opening, widening,
extending, laying out, curbing, guttering, or paving of the street
or avenue.  The exemption from all such paving, special assessments
and other expenses shall be in lieu of any compensation for the
